Integrated land information services in Hungarian land administration

Ivan, Gyula et al.

The Unified Hungarian Land Registry, in which cadastral mapping and land registry belong to the same organization (Land Office Network), has been operating since 1972. The 34 years experiences in the management of such an integrated system has made a good basis for the development of an integrated land information service on the Internet. By the help of Computerization of Land Offices in Hungary (including land registry, cadastral mapping and network services) we have established a modern, GIS based land information service in Hungary. The base of the network service is an own-developed software system by FFMI, which maps the whole object classes and procedures in Land Administration. In the paper the architecture, the components, the model structure and the evolution of models will be drawn. The new network services will be examined, including: - Uniform cadastral map service from heterogeneous systems, - Message service for subscribers about changing in their land registry records (SMS, email), - Data mining on distributed and heterogeneous databases, - Integrating of other geodata (e.g. orthophotos, topographic maps) into the services, - Activities, which increasing the quality of land information services. These new services improved the authenticity of land registry and public belief in LA. The Hungarian uniform land registry system and the experience and know-how in the maintenance and development of it, facilitated the planning and implementing of the new developments. By the expansion of quantity and quality of value-added services we made an important step to the accomplishment of a self-sustaining land administration.
